Del Piero risks missing World Cup 2006

ROME (AP) -- Alessandro Del Piero is already fighting for playing time at Juventus. Now he risks being left off Italy's World Cup roster.

Italy qualified for next year's World Cup on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Slovenia, leaving Wednesday's home match against Moldova as little more than a friendly -- and a chance for players to impress coach Marcelo Lippi.

Del Piero never got off the bench against Slovenia, with Francesco Totti, Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino in attack. Del Piero's fellow veteran Christian Vieri came on as a late replacement for Toni.

Lippi said he still considers the 32-year-old Vieri one of Italy's top forwards -- he isn't so sure about Del Piero, who turns 31 next month.

"Some players are certain, others a bit less so," Lippi said Tuesday of his World Cup roster. "To be honest, (Del Piero) is not among those that are certain."

Del Piero has only played two games for Italy under Lippi, his last goal coming last year in a 1-0 win against Moldova.

With qualification from Group 5 secure, Lippi plans to field his reserves in Lecce against last-place Moldova. Del Piero is expected to start on the left side of Italy's attack, with Vincenzo Iaquinta on the right and Vieri at center forward.

"I don't have anything to prove," Del Piero said. "I don't think I will be judged by this game. I'm hoping the rest of the season counts more, mostly the league."
